The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Maze’s POV

I awoke at dawn, showered and changed into a black shirt and black pants. I was a bit hesitant to wake Friday up at this hour. I was not sure if she were a morning lark or a night owl. She did seem cheery at breakfast time so perhaps she was an early riser. I knocked on her door. There was no answer. She was probably still asleep. I sighed. I had missed her yesterday at breakfast. Thaddeus had started his date early yesterday. I decided to do something a tad bit mischievous. I had a master-key. I used it to unlock the door.

Friday was sleeping soundly, bundled up in the covers. She was so beautiful. I just admired for a few moments. I gently stroked her wavy hair and trailed my fingertips on her cheek. She stirred a little and then slowly opened her eyes. She yawned and stretched, groaning. She blinked at me in surprise.

“Maze?” She said. “Hey,” I whispered, smiling. “Good morning, sorry to wake you.” She beamed at me and I felt my pulse quicken. “That’s ok. Good morning, Maze!”

“How did you sleep, Baby?” I practically purred. I was falling so hard for Friday and it scared me a little.

“Ok, I guess. It gets a little cold,” she said, pouting. She was such a little tease. She knew I would love to sneak in at night to warm her up. “Are you ready for our date, Princess?” I asked. She nodded sweetly looking up at me with her big doe eyes widened. “Where are we going?” She asked excitedly. Ichuckled. I could not help but smirk. “Absolutely nowhere!” I said grinning mischievously. “Huh?” She replied. “You’ll see,” I said simply. I led Friday to my room and locked the door. She grinned when she saw the table in my room set for sweet nonsense she liked to eat for breakfast: powdered donuts, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip waffles, chocolate chip pancakes. Friday had a fixation with chocolate chips. I begrudgingly made her morning coffee sweet and milky. She sipped it happily.

“Thaddeus stole you early yesterday and lintend to do the same today,” I said with a smile.

Friday grinned mid-waffle. She ate them with maple syrup, salted butter and whipped cream with extra chocolate chips sprinkled on top. I had made myself a solemn oath that I was not going to criticise Friday today at all even if she ate an entire bowl of sugar with a spoon or behaved like a little brat. I actually sort of liked when she behaved like a little brat. That reminded me of what I had on the agenda today.

I said softly. “Yeah?” Replied Friday hesitantly. She prompted me with her eyes to continue. I licked my lips, looking at her, “I promised
